Report overview
Security analysis of vote-axelar.network covers observed phishing indicators, infrastructure evidence, current status, and defensive guidance.
The detailed PhishDestroy AI analysis below remains in English to preserve the original forensic record.
Stored registration data identifies NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED (IANA 3765) as the registrar. PhishDestroy maintains separate NiceNIC abuse-report research; registrar association is contextual and is not an independent detection for this domain.
This domain, vote-axelar.network, is under investigation as a confirmed phishing site designed to target users of the Axelar network, a cross-chain communication protocol. Registered on July 21, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, the domain remains active and resolves to the IP address 104.21.44.167, which is hosted on Cloudflare infrastructure, as indicated by its nameservers (jermaine.ns.cloudflare.com and vida.ns.cloudflare.com). The use of Cloudflare is a common tactic among threat actors to obscure the true origin of malicious sites and evade takedown efforts. As of July 26, 2026, the domain appears on one security blocklist, though it has not yet been flagged by any of the 91 vendors that scanned it on VirusTotal.
The absence of detections in VirusTotal does not confirm the domain's safety; rather, it may reflect a lag in detection or the use of evasion techniques. The domain's registration age—just five days old at the time of this report—aligns with typical phishing campaign timelines, where newly registered domains are frequently weaponized before detection mechanisms can respond. Infrastructure analysis reveals that the domain is configured to mimic governance or voting portals associated with Axelar, likely to deceive users into disclosing sensitive credentials or private keys. Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk, particularly for organizations or individuals involved in cross-chain or DeFi activities.
Immediate actions include blocking the domain at the DNS or firewall level, monitoring for connections to the IP 104.21.44.167, and alerting users to the potential threat. Given the domain's active status and the lack of widespread detection, further investigation is warranted to determine the full scope of the campaign, including any associated wallet addresses or secondary domains.

What we count
Raw elapsed time since the first stored abuse report. It is not a registrar response-time measurement. Latest observed status: Unverified.
What each report contains
Stored outgoing-report records may reference evidence available at the time, such as vendor verdicts, registration data, hosting details, classifications, or screenshots. This page does not infer the exact payload delivered, receipt, acknowledgement, or action by a recipient.

Accreditation and RAA context
Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
